Well, this day has sucked. I was trying to remove my wheels to take off the rear hubs since I bought new ARP extended studs for all four wheels. The cheap *** lug nuts I bought a while back broke near the end, but we can't grip anything. One lug broke on each of the back wheels, so now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. We took out that 24mm nut on the back of the hub thinking the assembly might come off, but it didn't. What do I need to do to get the spindle off without removing the entire trailing arm?

i had a similar problem but with the OEM studs, i ended up drill the old stud out and simple replace

Well I got new ARP studs, so all I need is to get the assembly off. The shop I take them to can get the broken lug off each side. What do you need to take off in order to get to the spindle that hold the studs?

Bump. How can I remove the drum assembly without removing the trailing arm? I took off the 24mm nut on the back of the drum but it wouldn't come off. Any help would be great.

So what bolts do I need to remove? I didn't need to remove the 24mm nut? Keep in mind I cannot just pull off the drum from the front, since I have a lugnut that is keeping the wheel on.

Bump. I'm going to go at this early tomorrow, so I'd like a game plan as to what to do. There are four star shaped bolts on the back of the drum assembly. Should I remove these, or will the 24mm nut allow me to remove the assembly. I need a way to get the stud out, whether I punch it out or cut it from the back, but I cannot get the wheel off the drum. Please help...
